My three takeaways from this program:
1. All the cranial work.
2. The SOT technique.
3. Overall pediatric information about nervous system development and the impact of different subluxations on the bodies.

I have gained more knowledge, more confidence and more clinical efficiency. I feel more confident when working with babies and I also have much faster results when working with babies with cranial deformities.

So far, I have used the techniques I learned mostly with babies with torticollis and plagiocephaly, with great, precise and fast results.

Absolutely would recommend this program. I think this program is a must for every chiropractor working with children and babies. SOT technique is very effective, and the knowledge offered by this program is essential and has greatly improved my practice.

It is a very complete program, and I enjoyed it.

This program is incredibly thorough. Lots of information pertinent to being a great pediatric chiropractor. Gaining and understanding of the material presented provides an incredible skill set that will improve your outcomes. However, staying up to date with the modules is important as the quantity of information is vast. Reviewing the modules to ensure you retain this info is also important. 2) Practice these techniques during the modules and after. This brings greater certainty and skill when applying them to your new and existing practice members. 3) While adjusting a paediatric population can sound and feel daunting at times, if you fall back on the principles taught in this program, it provides answers for the times where you don’t know where to begin. Review the print material regularly so this becomes more natural for you.

Throughout this program, I have found myself becoming more confident in my approach with adjusting kids. Having this improved confidence has also helped improve my certainty, which provides the parents of the children I am seeing with more confidence in me. This shared improved confidence translates into a better outcome as parents choose to continue with care, especially with those more difficult kids that need more care. From this course, I find myself enjoying seeing kids even more and have great joy throughout the day.

For me, the biggest take away from this program was not an application of one specific technique that had an amazing outcome, but the ability to know where to go next. My biggest problem prior to this program was I had lots of information in my head about how to care for the pediatric population, but now how to put it all together. Seeing how Dr. Rosen moves from assessment to correction gave me clarity on ‘where to go to next’. This wasn’t just with one patient, but with every patient, which improved the outcomes for them all and gave me more confidence at the same time.

I would highly recommend the program to anyone considering working with kids. SOT and Dr Rosen & Watson’s approach in applying SOT principles & techniques to kids ensures that you have the confidence and skills to manage all the common and uncommon conditions and syndromes experienced by kids, while also providing confidence to the parents. It delivers an incredible understanding of the anatomy & physiology of the developing baby and blends that with easy to follow and progressive assessment and corrective techniques that are safe, gentle and effective. What more could you want? If mastering chiropractic for the pediatric population is your vision, or if you are just looking for some extra help, this course delivers everything you will need and more.

Thank you both for your dedication to the chiropractic profession, especially the pediatric population & the chiropractors looking to master their skills. The breadth of knowledge you share within the program is incredible and something that I know I will use for the rest of my career. Without the dedication of you both, I fear that not only would some of these techniques get lost, resulting in our ability to care for kids to also suffer, but less chiropractors would also have less enjoyment in their day to day lives. Again, thank you both for your dedication to the profession and the health of kids globally. The profession continues to need masters like you both to help guide the knowledge and skills of less experienced chiropractors. This ensures the greatest possible health outcomes of our pediatric population. This program goes a long way to delivering this.”

“I wanted to learn more about cranial adjusting and this course exceeded my expectations.

I would recommend this course to any chiropractor. I have expanded my knowledge of the SOT technique, the pediatric spinal exam and adjustment, and cranial adjusting. I have been able to put this into practice immediately and I am pleased with the results.

I have been able to look at a person with a new perspective and system of analysis. It has helped me with new knowledge and new adjustments. That always improves my life and the lives of my patients.

I have been wanting to learn the sphenobasilar junction adjustments, which is why I signed up for this course. A couple of months after starting this course, a mom brought her 7 month old in for care, concerned his anterior fontanelle was too small. He was extremely subluxated in the upper cervical spine and cranium. After clearing his upper cervical spine, I adjusted his sphenobasilar junction, and when he came back for a follow up visit, his head shape was noticeably different, and his mother was extremely happy.

I have recommended this course to multiple others. I tell them they will learn more in this class than any other class they have taken.

There is so much information to learn from this course. Dr. Rosen has it designed in a way to make it as easy as possible. You can watch a video and put it into practice the same week. The weekly videos make it easier to learn than trying to cram it all in a weekend course. I highly recommend it!

Thank you both so much!”

1. This is a very detailed course of study that digs very deep into anatomy and cranial joint function. 2. Do your best to stay on top of the weekly material…it is not easy to play catch-up! 3. If you are a better in-person learner, consider taking the fully in-person or partial in-person course.

My knowledge of the cranial mechanism has increased substantially! I also realized that I am a much better in-person learner!

I have an infant in my practice that has a significant torticollis, feeding/latch difficulties and plagiocephaly. Adding in the intraoral work really helped improve her function, comfort level and we are starting to see more changes in her head shape! I have been doing external cranial work for all 17 years of my practice, but the intraoral work has been a game changer!

I would definitely recommend this course to others, but I would urge them to consider their learning style before choosing a course path (in-person, hybrid or completely online.)

Thank you for increasing my knowledge and confidence in caring for my patients!

“I took the course to further my understanding and ability to treat pediatric patients; knowing the SOT® model of addressing the entire body when doing cranial work, I hoped to gain a set of tools to help complement my pediatric cranial practice. My three takeaways:
1. The pediatric certification program is extremely thorough, even for those of us already doing SOT®;
2. The course teaches a holistic approach, not a technique;
3. This course is not anyone looking to take a weekend seminar to pick up a few new tools, it’s a deep dive into understanding and delivering pediatric care.

Within 1-2 months I was able to help my patients more than before the course, and it has helped me understand how much treatment I was leaving on the table – and that other pediatric specialty chiro’s I’ve been co-treating with aren’t taught about much of this either!

I recently adjusted a 4 year old to address chronic hearing issues (all tests normal) and fluid in the ears. Later that night his ears ‘popped’ while hiccuping and he asked if they had turned the TV up and why was everyone talking so loudly.

Not all pediatric courses are equal – which I’m unfortunately learning as parents come to me from highly regarded ped offices near me and yet I’m seeing foundational things left unresolved or even unaddressed.
In chiropractic school it seems we get enough pediatric training to not be dangerous, but we have no idea how unprepared we really are. I would highly recommend the course for anyone wanting to thoroughly understand why and how pediatric care needs to be different from treating adults. I recommend this course specifically because the cranial adjusting being taught here is in its truest, safest, and most effective and complete form. It’s a huge commitment, but there’s also huge support and guidance.

Ten months is a long time for a course, however I’d almost say the amount & depth of the material might be better over 12 months. As my clinic Dr. at Palmer said, ‘SOT® is a technique for people who really REALLY like to think.’ I’d like to thank you both for continuing to grow this institute. I give presentations every year about what I do (which now feels like a sliver of what you guys do), and the physicians I’m educating are always surprised and disappointed there isn’t an SOT® chiro near them, especially peds.”
